My guess is (B) is off hand and (A) tripod, I thank! A is just a bit more clear. Both are great thou.

Now for some more info on the two shots:
A. Shot with the camera attached to a very sturdy gitzo tripod with 10 second timer. I took 3 shots, and used the sharpest one.
B. Shot hand-held. I also shot 3 and picked the sharpest. Both A. and B. had equal amounts of processing, although on B. the contrast is a little higher, which may give the impression of greater sharpness. Obviously, both shots are very close in terms of overall sharpness. But if you look closely, you might notice small details on B. have slightly more blur. Thanks for playing!
